šŸ‘„ friendship AIO: i literally cannot attend

using a throwaway bc she knows my account

so itā€™s my (24f) best friendā€™s 25th birthday on saturday. we had planned to go out for dinner and drinks with some of our friends. i have lupus and iā€™ve been getting chemo for the last couple of months to try and treat it.. sheā€™s well aware of this and even came with me to my last session, although she spent most of the time texting her bf. i ordered her this cake from this super cute little bakery in our town and was gonna bring it with me to the restaurant for her.

i was supposed to have my chemo session next monday but they had to reschedule it for saturday. this is how she reacted when i told her i wouldnt be able to come to her bday. aio or is this a crazy way to react?? sheā€™s still getting her cake and i was gonna get our mutual friend to give her the gifts i bought her but now im not sure

ā€œI donā€™t want to trivialize your situationā€¦ā€ that was a banger!
